But the real deal maker should actually be solar power’s flexibility and adaptability to needs and requirements.

This is one of the realities that hit home on a visit to Photovoltaic Technology Intellectual Property (PTIP), a wholly owned South African company, where some of the latest solar panel technologies are being developed and already being produced on a limited commercial scale.
